I'm not sure I understand the issue?  Isn't the process:

1) Generate XML
2) Postprocess --> HTML files
3) tar/zip generated html files
4) FTP
5) untar/unzip

I would think once you have more than one file, as is already the case it doesn't make much difference if it is 2 or 100?

Ah yes, I see now.  Is there a way to decentralize this?  At a minimum it seems awkward to have to specify the list of tests in
both the local library directory and the status directory.
